Sebastian had Tamara in his arms and was kissing her!Was the man in the picture really the handsome, mysterious, cold, noble President Lynch?He looked like a completely different person in the photo!While the receptionist was ruminating in shock, Tamara had already made her way to the elevator. When she recalled the surprised look on the receptionist’s face, she couldn’t help but snicker.She lowered her gaze to look at the picture. She had taken this picture when Sebastian kissed her one time. The angle had been perfect.The elevator took her to the top floor. She could tell the atmosphere was off when she walked out. A few people were gathered around the president’s office door. Their heads were bowed, and their hands were tightly clasping the papers.Tamara blinked curiously at them, then made her way into the office.When those people saw her, they were shocked. They began to ask, “Is that woman President Lynch’s wife?”“Isn’t it obvious? Look at that belly of hers!”“T
Sebastian cocked his brow at her. “It’s a ritual I’ve established before every meal. Why? Don’t you like it?”Tamara was stunned. A ritual?Only Sebastian could come up with something this ridiculous.“Sebastian, are you sure that’s it?”The man cocked his brow. “I’m sure.”Tamara nodded. “Alright then. I’ll believe you.”Sebastian smiled. “Good girl.”He didn’t seem to mind that his taste buds weren’t working. He knew, however, that if he told Tamara about it, she would become terribly worried about him. She was in her third trimester, so worrying her was not ideal.Tamara went back to the sofa and began watching videos on her phone to curb the boredom.Sebastian stared at her with a doting look on his face. Then, he lowered his head and went back to work.The office’s atmosphere was both quiet and warm. Even though the color scheme of the office’s layout was on the cool side, the room felt warm.By the time Sebastian finished work, it was already four in the afternoon.Ta
The waitress led Eugenia to another room, then moved to leave.“Stop right there!” Eugenia yelled. Her expression had darkened significantly.The waitress had a bad feeling about what was to come. However, she was obligated to ask, “Miss Cooper, is there anything else you need help with?”“Were you laughing at me just now?” Eugenia inched closer to the waitress, glaring coldly at her.The waitress was shocked. She hurriedly shook her head. “No, I wasn’t…”However, she was slapped hard across the face before she could finish speaking.“You dumb bitch. You’re nothing but a lowly waitress. How dare you laugh at me?” Eugenia slapped the waitress, venting her anger on the poor woman.The waitress began to sob. She held her cheek and said, “Miss Cooper, I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”“Do you realize what I can do to you? I can even make it so that you won’t be able to find any work in this city in your lifetime.” Eugenia sat on a chair, glaring at the waitress with disdain.She had
The waitress endured the pain as she put away all the tableware. She continued to work. At this moment, the manager suddenly appeared. “Someone’s asking to see you.”The waitress was shocked. The first person who came to mind was Eugenia. She looked fearful as she said, “Sir, may I decline?”The manager frowned. “They’re not the kind of people that ordinary people like us can offend. You’d better see them. Don’t worry. Nothing too bad will happen.”When the manager noticed the waitress’ burnt hands, disgust flashed in his eyes.The waitress felt the pain in her hands worsening. Her heart was filled with hatred when she was reminded of Eugenia’s gentle smile. She was enraged and frustrated, but she couldn’t do anything about it.The waitress was just a regular citizen. She couldn’t afford to go against the rich.The manager led her to the office. When the waitress saw that the people who wanted to meet her were Sebastian and Tamara, she finally calmed down. She was glad that the d
Eugenia admonished the waitress. The waitress fell silent, scared out of her mind.“Miss Cooper, I’m really sorry about what happened. Please forgive me, I beg you...” The waitress knelt in front of Eugenia, begging for forgiveness.She had no idea Eugenia would follow her to the hospital and discover that Young Mrs. Lynch was the one who had helped send her there.It was apparent how much influence and power Eugenia possessed. The woman was definitely not to be trifled with.Eugenia sneered at her. “You got that bitch, Tamara, to send you to the hospital. That means you’ve indirectly crossed me. If I don’t teach you a lesson now, do you think I can rest easy?”Then, Eugenia took a few steps back and waved her hands to beckon someone over.Several bodyguards stepped forward and started punching and kicking the waitress!The waitress kept wailing and screaming in pain. Very quickly, her voice became hoarse and weak.“Stop.”Eugenia ordered, seemingly out of the goodness of her
Tamara slept for an hour. After waking up, she went downstairs for food.Ms. Thompson had made her some delicious food and placed it on the dining table. The housekeeper looked a little distraught.Tamara’s clear eyes flickered. “Ms. Thompson, is something wrong?”Ms. Thompson pointed outside. “The woman who insisted on seeing you is still outside.”Tamara was taken aback. Then she remembered what the maids had said and deduced that it was most likely the waitress from the night before.She couldn’t believe the woman had waited outside for over an hour.Tamara furrowed her brows. Did this imply that the waitress wanted to thank her regardless? Did this mean that if Tamara didn’t show up, that woman would wait out there forever?How was this any different from a blatant threat?After everything that had happened, Tamara became more vigilant. “Tell her that I will not entertain her no matter what. If she doesn’t leave, get the guards to escort her away.”Ms. Thompson nodded. “Al
The man was unprepared for Margot’s ferocity. He let out a pained yelp and loosened his hold over her mouth.“Help!”Once Margot’s mouth was no longer covered, she yelled as loudly as she could. She then sprinted in an attempt to open the door.However, before she could reach the doorway, the man had already pressed her against the wall.“Shut up! If you yell one more time, I’ll kill you!” The man glared at Margot, and his hoarse voice made the ends of her hair stand up.Margot paled. “Who the hell are you? Why do you keep tailing me?”After getting into the elevator, she could feel the man’s eyes on her the entire time. She hadn’t bothered to be wary at first, but it turned out that she had been too careless.“I just need to hide here for a little while. I’ll leave in an hour. You’re not allowed to make any weird noises while I’m here, alright? If you do, I’m going to make you regret it!” The man squeezed Margot’s shoulders with broad palms.Margot winced from the pain, then f
The man leaned in. His face was only a few inches away from Margot’s, hidden behind a black mask. His eyes were completely exposed to Margot, causing her to widen hers.“Benjamin? Is that you? What are you doing? Why are you pretending not to know who I am? Untie me, already!”Margot had previously been unable to look the man in the eyes properly. She simply thought the man was odd. When she made eye contact with those familiar eyes, she nearly burst into tears from the flood of emotions that had welled up inside her!The man frowned. “I’m not Benjamin. You’re mistaken.”Margot was taken aback. “That’s not possible. You’re clearly him! Take your mask off!”The man glared at her with disdain. “I need you to shut up. If you keep talking, I’ll tape your mouth shut.”Margot stared at her in shock. “Benjamin, what on earth happened to you?”She was certain that those pair of eyes belonged to Benjamin.The man was clearly Benjamin Inkling!However, what on earth happened to that man
